Local club hosting model plane demonstration
RIDGELAND- A local remote control plane club is hoping to spread interest in the hobby with a presentation next week that includes videos of “fancy flying,” demonstrations of actual remote control planes and a chance for those interested to try a flying simulator.
Charles Bucciantina of Ridgeland has been a member of the Natchez Trace Bandits Model Aviation Club since 2016. The club is hosting a demonstration at the Ridgeland Recreational Center at 137 Old Trace Park on Thursday, Oct. 20, at 3 p.m.
“We are always trying to encourage other people to get into the hobby and we are always looking for new members,“ Bucciantini said. “I believe this will be a good venue to get people interested who may have some free time.”
Neeley Jones, the senior program coordinator, said she looks forward to hosting the Bandits.
“October 20th is going to be a great day and I look forward to hosting everyone soon,” She said.
There is no charge for the program, though organizers are asking that anyone interested register for this event by calling 601-856-6876, sending an email to neeley.jones@ridgelandms.org or through the events Facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/events/1306587406812871/?ref=newsfeed
